Consumerization of IT has destabilized the traditional ways of shopping, conceiving media and socializing. Today people are fortified with handheld magical devices like Smart phones, tablets and mobile phones which has changed the way the world works. It has given them an ultimate power to gather information, shop, play games, watch audio-visuals and connect to the world at the wink of an eye.

Changing trends demands businesses to acclimatize to the need of providing better tools to the workforce and better experience to customers.
